The Sherwood Ring: Difference between revisions

* [[Abduction Is Love]]: Kiiiiind of happens in a roundabout way; the abduction is accidental, polite, and kind of a rescue, and she quickly manages to get herself out of the situation. They do, however, fall in love.

* [[The American Revolution]]: The setting of the narrative provided by the ghosts.

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Peaceable finds out very quickly that Barbara is anything ''but'' this.

{{quote|"Will you mind very much if I run myself into serious difficulties now and again after we are married, just for the pleasure of seeing you rise to an occasion?"}}

* [[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: Surprisingly averted by Dick, despite the fact that he is clearly very fond of his sister and Peaceable is an enemy. He finds the whole affair amusing.

* [[Officer and a Gentleman]]: Both Dick and Peaceable play this up, and despite the fact that they're on opposing sides of a very bloody war, they're extremely friendly and courteous to one another. Peaceable's treatment of Barbara, when she wanders into his hands, also exemplifies this trope.

* [[Plot Parallel]]: There are a few instances where Peggy's story echoes the one being told by her ancestors; occasionally she deliberately invokes it, like at the ball where she helps Pat avoid detection by using Peaceable's methods.

* [[Poisoned Chalice Switcheroo]]: Barbara pulls one of these maneuvers {{spoiler|against Peaceable}} in one of the most exciting scenes of the novel.
